(Closed) Invitation help

Hey ladies! If my wedding is August 17th, when should I send out my invites? Fiance and I are planning on doing it next week, since we didn’t send out STD’s, we’re nervous people might start making plans for August. However, in conversation, we told FI’s mom that we are sending the invites out next week and she freaked. She said it is way too early. She told us that people will open the invite now, and say “oh this isn’t until August..” and throw the invite aside. Thoughts?

I have an August bride friend and her RSVP deadline was a month ago. It gives people time to plan and make sure they don’t schedule other things on that day. I will send mine out that early too, I do not see a problem with it.

You’re within the appropriate range of sending out invitations. Some websites say you should send them out at the 3-months-before-the-wedding mark. Others say 4-6 weeks before the RSVP date. I say send away!

So that would be sending the invites about 10 weeks in advance? I think you can swing it. Personally I would not send out invites before 8 weeks, and even that is a little early for me, unless you’re having a Destination Wedding or sending invites to someone abroad.
